Is There A Cancellation Fee?

If you paid in advance for a one-year subscription to Dropbox you will not receive a refund for the money paid on the account. Any changes take place after the conclusion of the current term, according to Dropbox. However, there is no cancellation fee per se.

If you choose to downgrade from a larger plan to a smaller plan and you have too many files for the smaller plan none of the files will be deleted. However, you will not be able to add more files to your Dropbox account.
